Liam Miller wins his appeal

Didn't expect that! Must be a season of goodwill thing.

Good news

***Part/Time Supporter*** · 22-12-2010 11:03 AM

That's twice in less than a year that he has been sent off and the ref has admitted he got it wrong within a week.

If Miller was still a Celtc player...

It's a conspiracy...

It's a shame they can't give us back the last 10 minutes of the game when we were wrongly and unfairly reduced to 10 men. There were three officials involved - how did they all manage to get it wrong???

***Bayern Bru*** · 22-12-2010 11:22 AM

So he's available to be totally anonymous at the big pink bus shelter?
Excellent news!

Joking aside though, nice to see justice done.

And they wonder why they get soooo much stick??

***Billy Whizz*** · 22-12-2010 11:31 AM

He must be getting near a ban for all his bookings!

**~~PaulSmith~~** · 22-12-2010 11:45 AM

If only you'd listened to me earlier you would've know that Miller was sent off for VC, Hibs would appeal and that Thomson would rescind it after reviewing...where was the panic?!

Mistakes happen. At least they've admitted that they made a mistake rather than uphold the decision, which they could have easily done.

So we're to thank them for only making one mistake instead of two?

**~~Speedway~~** · 22-12-2010 12:16 PM

The ref didn't mind admitting he was wrong since he'd already banked his winnings from the 'first red card' bet he'd placed in the syndicate.

**Riordans Boots** · 22-12-2010 12:34 PM

Glad to hear this - Would have saved a lot of time and heartache to have got the decision right in the first place - Like ..... it was never a sending off decision

Was it not the 4th Official that got him hooked?

**Sir David Gray** · 22-12-2010 01:00 PM

I can't give them any credit at all.

Rescinding that red card was the only sensible outcome that they could possibly have arrived at. Not even the SFA would have thrown out that appeal.

It was an absolute nonsense that the red card was issued in the first place.

These 'mistakes' seem to be happening all too often. That's twice in less than a year that Liam Miller has been wrongly sent off and had a successful appeal against a red card.

I don't think it will matter too much whether Miller plays in the derby or not but he should be available for selection (unless he gets sent off against Dundee Utd, of course).

Maybe he had money on it.

And he needs to go to specsavers

***Moulin Yarns*** · 22-12-2010 01:02 PM

reduced to a yellow?

was he not already on a yellow, so that was a second yellow?

No. The only Hibs players who were booked were Grounds and Murray.

***J-C*** · 22-12-2010 01:27 PM

Does anyone else think the refs are at the wind up since their wee dispute a few weeks ago, looks like they're going out their way to make these decisions just to pee everyone off.

Who said that? I wouldn't thank them or crucify them. **** happens.

You make mistakes too, right?

Nope, only when Thomson was shouting down his earpiece that he couldn't remember who comitted the foul did the 4th official help identify that it was Miller...probably should;ve though at that point said "your sending him off for a trip?!" and told him to behave

Oh indeed I do. Lots of them. But we're not talking about me; we're talking about a sending off which three officials were all involved in, which no one watching understood at the time, which everyone in the press and on TV seems to agree was never a red, and which now seems to have been dismissed on appeal, and which might have cost us a point. That's some mistake.

i may be in a minority of one but i thought he kicked rather than tripped him off the ball and could see why it was deemed a red.it doesn't matter that there wasnt the strongest contact imo.shows how much i know

**gringojoe** · 22-12-2010 02:15 PM

No turkey and all the trimmings for Liam now he is free to play on boxing day, he must be gutted.

***givescotlandfreedom*** · 22-12-2010 02:21 PM

it was a mistake - a pretty awful one - made by a fourth official obviously putting his ore in when the others were in a better view. At least a mistake has been admitted but it must have been easier for the ref to agree with Hibs when he can blame it ot on the fourth official.
